As more and more of my video art tutorials get demonetized on Youtube I am now seeking community support on Patreon to help keep my content going and to keep it free for everyone to enjoy. This is my third year on Youtube which brings in record high views and subscribers but also marks another year of record low ad revenue numbers- 56% lower to be exact. The revenue generated from Youtube is how I am able to support my channel and my family but as Youtube continues to make questionable changes to their platform, the future of my channel becomes uncertain. This is why I am turning my attention to Patreon. I am grateful to all my fans and subscribers for your continued support. If you find value in what I do and believe in what I do then please consider supporting my Patreon campaign.

Thank you.

What
is Cartooning 4 Kids?
I am an artist. I used to work in the animated
film and software industry. When my kids were old enough to hold crayons, they started
drawing on their own…and sometimes on the wall too. Then, they started asking me how to
draw like me. But they were at different ages so I started recording my drawing
lessons for them so they could learn at their own individual pace. One thing
led to another, and in 2014, my YouTube channel was launched.

Today, Cartooning 4 Kids has hundreds of thousands of subscribers and nearly a quarter billion views. This is now my full-time job. I create and share new video tutorials every single day on my main channel and now my recently added second channel for younger artists and beginners. My goal is to
introduce the basic fundamentals of drawing and help build confidence to
children and aspiring artists around the world. Exercising creativity should be
fun and free. Why
do I need your help?

I love teaching art and I love making
videos, but it’s becoming more of a challenge each year. The advertising
revenue we make on Youtube has become unstable with each passing year. For the past 3 years I have been supplementing
production funding through various freelance jobs I pick up elsewhere.

My mission is quite simple. I want to provide the largest creative arts education resource for all to enjoy. I believe I can help build confidence in young children and encourage everyone to discover their creative talents. I’m hoping that this Patreon will
help make production less stressful and provide a way for me to continue
creating free content for you and to all my fans around the world.

I can promise you that I will always do my
best and will continue to dedicate my life to building this Youtube channel for
everyone to enjoy. Your support is incredibly important to me so I thank you so
much for your love and generosity.

What
I will do with your money:

Your support will allow me to stop relying solely on ad revenue to fund my channel. With more and more advertisers pulling away from Youtube each month it can get a bit challenging to plan for the future of my channel. Your support will allow me
to focus 100% on the lessons I create and not lose valuable time hunting for
other work to fund production.

I can invest more time into broadening the
range of lessons I create. I would love to produce more lessons for my younger
audience and also for my advanced artists. The short amount of time I have
makes it nearly impossible for me to provide enriching lessons suited to all
skill levels. Your support will allow me to better plan my lessons and even
increase production in many ways.

And, mainly, it will allow me to spend more
time with my children, for whom all this began.

So simply put, you allow me the time to
improve and maintain a healthy and happy Youtube channel for everyone to enjoy
for free, forever.

Thank you for your support.

Goals

$10 of $100 per month

By reaching this goal I can continue to pay for all my paper and Sharpies for an entire month. That means more lessons everyday! Yay!!!
